Aneesa Ahmed: The importance of representation and community

In football, ‘curva’ refers to the stand where the most passionate and vocal supporters, often ultras groups, are situated, usually on the banked end of a stadium. It's a focal point of a club's support, often seen as the heart of the team's fan base. This project explores how football can be a vehicle for social change, asking whether the sense of community and belonging we have within the game can be harnessed for wider collective action.
